I came in from gardening and was thrilled to see your post! I love to see clump shots, especially ones as healthy and pretty as yours are. What I always marvel at are those nicely mulched beds with nary a weed in sight. I like each & every one of these because they look so marvelous blooming away. What a beautiful sight! I finally got my order from Earlybird a couple days ago and Golliwog is planted. I know it will take a long time for mine to look as great as yours but I do hope it gives me a bloom or two this year, even though I got it in late. Your seedling is very pretty and Miss Tinkerbell is charming. Thanks for the beautiful eyecandy today. Celeste

Thanks for all the kind comments! Since these photos I was able to get a few more migration photos before the rain set in, but kept hoping I could get some more. We spent one weekend at a family reunion in IN, then worked out of town as extras in the Disney movie Secretariat during two very cold, windy weeks (long hours, miserable work, but at least I got to see John Malkovich and Diane Lane). This weekend coming up might have some sun, but I've not seen any migrants for awhile, so our migration action may be over.

Regal is aptly named. Tuxedo cats are always so good looking, and he is no exception....I like the colors on All Revved Up too. Your 2 pictures of it reminds me again, why bud counts are important. I have a daylily that went through a good 1/2 dozen blooms early this spring before finally settling down and producing what I bought it for. ..........I also like Linda Sierra and Sherry Candy. Nice selection........Maryl

Thanks, everybody. LilyKate, this is an early blooming year, no doubt because of the warm winter. Julianna Lynn nearly died when it first arrived, but came back strong, thank goodness. Hope yours will be loved as much as ours. Maryl, I had a sneaking suspicion you would like Sweet Isabela. Midnight Magic is really dramatic, but unfortunately, will melt out in the hot sun. Wow, so many people have Smokey Mountain Autumn, well, at least you know what the true color is.
